How it feels
A stylish, over-the-top side-scrolling brawler with fast-paced combat and cartoonish gore.

What players say
Players praise the hand-drawn art and satisfying combat, but nearly all note the campaign is very short at around 3 hours. Reviews split on the controls: some find them clunky and unresponsive, especially when blocking, while others enjoy the brutal combat. The hard difficulty is seen as a serious spike because it removes checkpoints.
